Can't pick up power crystal in Arlathan
The crystal I need to activate the last laser device and get to that big chest on the island doesn't have a pick up option. I've tried restarting the game, changing areas, etc. but nothing works....

Some players are consolidating detailed reports in the other thread with a similar issue.
Can't interact with certain objects | EA Forums - 5006443
In summary of my personal experience and info provided in other reports, i play as a human Shadow Dragon Spellblade mage with more of the necro skills on the top left (more details if my specific build can be found in the other thread but removing any gear and refunding skills did not make changes). Initially, it seemed potentially linked to certain mage/equipment skill related interactions until another player reported the same issues with a warrior and another report by a rogue. No definitive information has been reported relating to companion interactions (potentially related since all classes are affected now, perhaps its a matter of cross class interactions between players and companions..?)
MINOR SPOILERS required to place a checkpoint for the reports below:
The general consensus seems to be related to unlocking a gate in the Crossroads using the champion essence. Mine and a couple others were the Gate of Lost Ages. I believe this is the one with the mass Venatori crystal contraption that was locking up two altars (evanuris and fen’harel) right beside the town in the center.
So far, saves I have after this event around the time of the story quests Something Wrong and Shades of Blight are affected. Right after the return of a companion shortly after recruiting the final two allies. Anything after those saves, I cannot open big chests, access altars and as of right this moment I cannot access the breakable wall that is supposedly in the cellar of Gaspin Manor in Hossberg Wetlands’ side quest, An Academic Interest. So as of now this seems to be a potentially quest breaking bug outside of collectibles.
Since that specific cutscene, I had done 10 rounds in the Hall of Valor and explored the available areas of Rivain before I noticed that I could not interact with altars and chests while pursuing the Regrets in the Crossroads.
One player reported that progress into world state update (next major quest relating to Weisshaupt) fixed it for them, while another reported that this did not happen for them. I am working towards that quest right now.
